99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The web is about information accessibility

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's really a basic human freedom that we

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are just really beginning to talk about in

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the last decade.  It's important

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
therefore that everybody have this freedom

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
any freedom that's only allocated to a few

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is not really a freedom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The web is about information and  it's

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
important that people can access the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
information that they need in order to

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
complete a workflow or get their job done

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
finish a task.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think the web should be accessible to

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
everyone all the time. I grew up with it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
being easily accessible to me. It's how

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I learnt information easily. I can't

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
imagine someone not being able to just

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
google something instantly, and getting

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what they need.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think websites should be accessible

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because...the web is founded kinda on this

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
idea of sharing information and if you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can't share information or if some people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can't see it , then it's not truly being shared.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We all have different abilities and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
disabilities, and if we're all going to be

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
able to get the same content and interpret

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it in a somewhat similar fashion, it has

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be given to us in that way and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
accessible so that we can actually reach

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Accessibility is important for a number of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
reasons.  For one, there are laws that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
apply.Another is, it can relate to our

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
reputation. And a third is thatby paying

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
attention to it, we create a more

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
inclusive educational environment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think we are really good as developers

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at being...focusing on the 80% case.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Focusing on how do we make every 4 out of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
every 5 of our users happy. How do we

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
build things for those group of people,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because the last 20% is always hard. But I

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
say that the web is for 100%. It's for

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
everybody, which is what Tim Burners-Lee

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm definitely am very moved by this

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
notion of inclusiveness. I mean I think

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that, for me it's a part of who I...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is important to me. But  there's

NOTE Paragraph

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
also just the sort of,  the notion of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of having everybody's contributions to the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sort of...the knowledge.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Big challenge is, to escape your own

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
viewpoint. And to not make the assumption

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that everyone sees the web the way you see

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it
